In 2 Nephi 17 verse 14 it talks about Mary bearing my Savior. I never realized how many times in the scriptures it talks about this event. I've heard it said but haven't studied it out that The Book of Mormon talks more about the Savior then the Holy Bible does, which is interesting. I love that my Savior Jesus Christ has a part in others lives that I read about as much in the days before He came as He does now that He is resurrected.
I often hear people do you have faith that it won't happen. That's a hard question because we want our desired to happen and come into our lives. But I think having faith that maybe something we want won't happen is really a big step to giving our lives to Christ and submitting to His will and their plan for us. It is hard especially because so many people go through lives not getting the things they want the most but it will all be made clear to us one day why.

Blessing: I have clothes to keep me warm on these cold winter days.

Heber J.

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
